Walker had never done a Hammie in his life.

He didnt do his hammy .. it was just tight .. and we did not risk him. But yes we can all agree afc can do with a hammy specialist.

Rather these injuries at the beginning of the season than the end. Been pleasing that we have pushed through it and won

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Sounds like a massive fail, either on the players or the fitness staff

Probably both.

I remember feeling a bit sick when I heard that Burton was taking on a new role this year and being replaced by this new guy. Burton came highly recommended and seemed to do a fantastic job last year. I hope this isn't the reason for all the hammys this season. Whether it's true or not 1 thing is for sure, the club will never admit it.

In the last week of pre-season a friend of mine witnessed Seed and Fetta at a local having a merry time, "at least half a dozen down each". Just the two of them, attempting to be discreet in a corner. Very disappointing. I wouldn't discount them both being out for a few weeks longer than reported at least. And I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't seen at all this season.

And still earn 5/6 times my wage. Uckers

What if they had the next day off?

They are allowed a life!

Was the day before one of our games. And they were both listed as injured at that time. Is downing half a dozen the best way to go about getting fit and healthy to play footy? I wouldn'r know cause I've never done it.

How bloody good is it to have depth and position flexibility..

So they did have the next day off. Studies have shown a few beers with your mates twice a week is healthy for men and helps with stress and mental health. If it hinders recovery of course its a no but otherwise i can't see an issue.

I prefer to think of it that way, thanks. I guess moderation is the key when considering injury recovery. Since then both players recovery has seemed to be extended over and over, so maybe I'm just adding one and one to make three.

Having had injuries its not to wise having alcohol around the time of your injury when you have inflamtion but these two would be well and truly over that period and you would think the inflamation has dissapeared. Cant see it having a huge impact if any at all and Im sure there could be cases for and against drinking alcohol when you are well and truly over that initial muscle tear or what ever it is once the inflamation has died down.

If you want to be pedantic alcohol doesnt really help with sports injured or not but then there are lots of things like junk food tthat arent good for athletes either

That is OK, as a cricketer I liked to have at least a dozen pints the night before a game but as I have gotten older I find my recovery time between my last chuck and then crossing the rope into battle has become longer so I tend to cut myself off at 10 pints the night before and none after 2 am.

 

[Brentmeister]

Can someone remind me which players have had hamstring issues this year? I know there's been a few but would be interested to know.

 

[StonesThrow]

Brad Crouch
Walker
McGovern
Lever
Cheney
Keath

I may have missed a pre season one.

Leg weights and training to the edge was what Leicester city did in their premier league year

Straight from their games onto leg weights even

As well as loading with sprints at end of training sessions even a couple of days before match day

There is some science there but there is also a line that can make you susceptible to hamstring injury

I have no doubt we have been pushing that line and only time will tell if it's a good move

The players that survive the regime will add a few % to their games , we are known as a super fit side and with some increase in power no doubt it's part of our plan to improve our finals results by winning contested ball

I'd rather have a crack than be too careful but some players may be less suited eg brad crouch with his history

Re injured players - I'm pretty sure no alcohol while your injured is the policy and those players would be sanctioned if found out rightly or wrongly that seems to be the policy

Brad has admitted it's been partly his fault. He felt some tightness and didn't speak up. They're being more cautious with him now and he's more aware of the issues too.

I believe alcohol has hindered Harley Bennells recovery from injury ( conspiracy theories aside) . It doesn't have to be about anti-inflammatories nor any other medication , but the simple act of drinking and not taking care. A drunken stumble can turn into a twisting fall etc. A full as a goog fly over the mates in the backyard may also not be in your best interests
